To help address future water needs in the Treasure Valley and southwest Idaho, the Idaho Water Resource Board partnered with the Bureau of Reclamation to complete a feasibility study to evaluate options for increasing the availability to store additional surface water within the Boise River Drainage. After preliminary analysis of the multi-dam system, the study focused on a small raise of Anderson Ranch Dam. The concept recommended in Reclamation’s Final Feasibility Study is a 6-foot dam raise resulting in approximately 29,000 acre-feet of storage capacity.
